Summary: Great Shampoo for Hard Water
Comment: We have a well system, and I've had a hard time finding shampoo that doesn't make my hair look dirty and/or like I hadn't rinsed all the shampoo out. This one has worked very well for me. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Summary: the best shampooo in the world
Comment: as I've previously stated elsewhere, I have been using kerastase by l'oreal since the late 1990s, but as it is is not generally marketed on the american side of the atlantic, I was surprised to find it on amazon - surprised, and really happy. so thank you amazon!
the entire kerastase series is possibly the best haircare series that has ever been created. I have long, thick wavy hair which tends to get heavy, and thus, I must be careful not to over-condition. yet, long hair needs extra moisture or it will go brittle. kerastase is the only product I have ever encountered that makes my locks shine like those of a hollywood star, without making my long hair appear heavy and flat.
this might cost more than what the average person is willing to pay for a shampoo. let me just say, that in europe it costs a LOT more, and even as a poor european college student, I would buy it. it is that good. it is worth every cent, and I would buy it even if it were $75 per bottle. I repeat: it IS that good.
I would give anything by kerastase six stars if it were possible. anything. the entire series rocks, oh it rocks.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: You'll either love this so much that it's worth the money or you wont. There really isn't any inbetween. Get a professional evaluation before buying. This will not be worth the money if you are using the wrong formula! The first time I purchased this product, I was unsatisfied. Then, I went to a salon and found out that I had been using the wrong formula for my hair type. Since I have been using the correct formula, my hair has become softer, shinier, less frizzy and never tangles. This is the only product I have ever used that makes it possible for me to brush my hair without breaking my hairbrush or wanting to shave my head and wear a wig. I have used other brands like Aveda, and although I do prefer natural alternatives, I'll gladly take whatever ingredients are in this because of the results. Like just about everything, what works for some may not work for others, so I recommend buying this somewhere with a good return policy like a salon the first time.

Summary: Overpriced with sketchy ingredients
Comment: One of my former roommates used to have Kerastase Nutritive Shampoo for very dry hair. I remember it smelling great and being endorsed by celebrities as the "it" shampoo for treating dry, unruly tresses. The other day, I saw this shampoo on the clearance shelf at Meijers and regrettably made an impulse purchase. Even at clearance price, this shampoo was still expensive.
I have very thick, wavy, and somewhat dry hair that needs lots of conditioning products--when I checked out the ingredients (after I bought the shampoo), I groaned inwardly. Almost all of the ingredients (with the exception of water) is on the Aubrey Organics' "ingredients to be avoided" list (that is, they are considered toxic). Like Aubrey Organics, other reputable natural beauty manufacturers suggest avoiding parabens as preservatives because they are mildly estrogenic and can be absorbed through the skin. This shampoo has six different types of parabens--methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc.
If a product has such a steep asking price, then you would think that its manufacturers would put forth a better formula, incorporating non-toxic, natural ingredients (like Aveda, Biolage, and Biosilk). At least Suave and V05 (bargain-priced shampoos) can boast about having vitamins and silk amino acids in their formulas (though many of their other ingredients are also found on the "to be avoided" list).
